an extension cord with this appliance.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to
publish a list of substances known to the state to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm, and
requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon
monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or
LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize
incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
■ Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path
and out of drafty locations to prevent poor air
circulation.
■ Be sure all packaging materials are removed
from the range before operating it to prevent
fire or smoke damage should the packaging
material ignite.
■ Be sure your range is correctly adjusted by
a qualified service technician or installer for
the type of gas (natural or LP) that is to be
used. Your range can be converted for use
with either type of gas. See the Installation
of the range section.
■ WARNING: These adjustments
must be made by a qualified service
technician in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions and all codes
and requirements of the authority having
jurisdiction. Failure to follow these instructions
could result in serious injury or property
damage. The qualified agency performing
this work assumes responsibility for the
conversion.
■ After prolonged use of a range, high floor
temperatures may result and many floor
coverings will not withstand this kind of use.
Never install the range over vinyl tile or
linoleum that cannot withstand such type
of use. Never install it directly over interior
kitchen carpeting.
■ Do not leave children alone or unattended
where a range is hot or in operation. They
could be seriously burned.
■ Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang
on the oven door, storage drawer, warming
drawer or cooktop. They could damage the
range and even tip it over, causing severe
personal injury.
■ CAUTION: Items of interest
to children should not be stored in cabinets
above a range or on the backsplash of
a range—children climbing on the range
to reach items could be seriously injured.
■ Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments
while using the appliance. Be careful when
reaching for items stored in cabinets over the
range. Flammable material could be ignited
if brought in contact with flame or hot oven
surfaces and may cause severe burns.
■ Do not store flammable materials in an oven,
a range storage drawer, a warming drawer
or near a cooktop.
■ Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
■ Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the range.
■ Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick
up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.
Smother a flaming pan on a surface burner
by covering the pan completely with a well-
fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a
multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type
fire extinguisher.
■ Flaming grease outside a pan can be put
out by covering it with baking soda or,
if available, by using a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
■ Flame in the oven can be smothered
completely by closing the oven door and
turning the control to off or by using a multi-
purpose dry chemical or foam-type
fire extinguisher.
■ Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool
before touching them or leaving them where
children can reach them.
■ Never block the vents (air openings) of the
range. They provide the air inlet and outlet
that are necessary for the range to operate
properly with correct combustion. Air openings
are located at the rear of the cooktop, at the
top and bottom of the oven door, and at the
bottom of the range under the kick panel or
storage drawer.
■ Large scratches or impacts to glass doors can
lead to broken or shattered glass.

SURFACE BURNERS
Use proper pan size—avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat
bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. To avoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large enough
to contain the food properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of
food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be
easily grasped and remain cool.
■ Always use the Lite position when igniting the
top burners and make sure the burners have
ignited.
■ Never leave the surface burners unattended at
high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
■ Adjust the top burner flame size so it
does not extend beyond the edge of the
cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous.
■ Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns
from steam. Do not let pot holders come near
open flames when lifting cookware. Do not
use a towel or other bulky cloth in place
of a pot holder.
■ When using glass cookware, make sure it
is designed for top-of-range cooking.
■ To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition
of flammable materials and spillage, turn
cookware handles toward the side or back of
the range without extending over adjacent
burners.
■ Carefully watch foods being fried at a high
flame setting.
■ Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
■ Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The
hot air from the vent may ignite flammable
items and will increase pressure in closed
containers, which may cause them to burst.
■ If a combination of oils or fats will be used in
frying, stir together before heating or as fats
melt slowly.
■ Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
■ Use the least possible amount of fat for
effective shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling the
pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when
food is added.
■ Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you do
flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
■ Do not use a wok on the cooking surface if the
wok has a round metal ring that is placed over
the burner grate to support the wok. This ring
acts as a heat trap, which may damage the
burner grate and burner head. Also, it may
cause the burner to work improperly. This may
cause a carbon monoxide level above that
allowed by current standards, resulting in a
health hazard.
■ Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.
Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh
foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over
the sides of the pan.
■ Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially
a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
■ Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop—
they may melt if left too close to the vent.
■ Keep all plastics away from the surface
burners.
■ To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be
certain that the controls for all burners are at
the Off position and all grates are cool before
attempting to remove them.
■ If range is located near a window, do not hang
long curtains that could blow over the surface
burners and create a fire hazard.
■ If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range
and call a qualified service technician. Never
use an open flame to locate a leak.
■ Always turn the surface burner controls off
before removing cookware.
■ Do not lift the cooktop on sealed burner
models. Lifting the cooktop can lead to
damage and improper operation of the range.

■ Do not use the oven for a storage area.
Items stored in the oven can ignite.
■ Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
■ Place the oven racks in the desired position
while the oven is cool.
■ Pulling out the rack to the stop-lock is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also
a precaution against burns from touching hot
surfaces of the door or oven walls. The lowest
position is not designed to slide.
■ Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
■ Do not use aluminum foil anywhere in the
oven except as described in this manual.
Misuse could result in a fire hazard or damage
to the range.
■ When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.
■ Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch fire.
■ Use only glass cookware that is recommended
for use in gas ovens.
■ Always remove any broiler pan from range
as soon as you finish broiling. Grease left in
the pan can catch fire if oven is used without
removing the grease from the broiler pan.
■ When broiling, if meat is too close to the flame,
the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to prevent
excessive flare-ups.
■ Make sure any broiler pan is in place correctly
to reduce the possibility of grease fires.
■ If you should have a grease fire in a broiler
pan, touch the Clear/Off pad, and keep
the oven door closed to contain fire until it
burns out.
■ For safety and proper cooking performance,
always bake and broil with the oven door
closed.
Stand away from the range when opening the door of a hot oven. The hot air and steam that escape
can cause burns to hands, face and eyes.
OVEN
COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry
to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against
foodborne illness.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING: NEVER cover
any slots, holes or passages in the oven
bottom or cover an entire rack with
materials such as aluminum foil. Doing
so blocks air flow through the oven and
may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Aluminum foil linings may also trap
heat, causing a fire hazard.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

■ Be sure to wipe off excess spillage before
self-cleaning operation.
■ Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the
racks, any broiler pan, grid and other
cookware.
■ Do not clean the door gasket. The door gasket
is essential for a good seal. Care should be
taken not to rub, damage or
move the gasket.
■ Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s Manual.
■ If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions,
turn the oven off and disconnect the power
supply. Have it serviced by a qualified
technician.
■ Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial
oven cleaner or oven liner of any kind should
be used in or around any part of the oven.
Residue from oven cleaners will damage the
inside of the oven when the self-clean cycle
is used.

How to Light a Gas Surface Burner
Make sure all the surface burners are placed
in their respective positions.
Push the control knob in and turn it to the Lite
position.
You will hear a little clicking noise—the sound
of the electric spark igniting the burner.
Turn the knob to adjust the flame size. If the
knob stays at Lite, it will continue to click.
When one burner is turned to Lite, all the
burners spark. Do not attempt to disassemble
or clean around any burner while another
burner is on. An electric shock may result,
which could cause you to knock over hot
cookware.
Push the control knob in and turn
it to the Lite position.
How to Select Flame Size
For safe handling of cookware, never let the
flames extend up the sides of the cookware.
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce
heat. When fast heating is desired, the flame
size on a gas burner should match the
cookware you are using.
Flames larger than the bottom of the
cookware will not result in faster heating
of the cookware and could be hazardous.
Before Lighting a Gas Burner
■ Make sure all burners are in place.
■ Make sure all grates on the range are
properly placed before using any burner.
After Lighting a Gas Burner
■ Do not operate the burner for an extended
period of time without cookware on the
grate. The finish on the grate may chip
without cookware to absorb the heat.
■ Be sure the burners and grates are cool
before you place your hand, a pot holder,
cleaning cloths or other materials on them.
Sealed Gas Burners
Your gas range cooktop, depending on model,
has either four or five sealed gas burners.
They offer convenience, cleanability and
flexibility to be used in a wide range of
cooking applications.
The smallest burner in the right rear position is
the simmer burner. This burner can be turned
down to Lo for a very low simmer setting. It
provides precise cooking performance for
delicate foods such as sauces or foods that
require low heat for a long cooking time.
The medium (left rear and, on some models,
left front) and the large (left front and, on some
models, right front) burners are the primary
burners for most cooking. These general-
purpose burners can be turned down from
Hi to Lo to suit a wide range of cooking needs.
The extra large burner (right front, on some
models) is the maximum output burner. Like
the other four burners, it can be turned down
from Hi to Lo for a wide range of cooking
applications; however, this burner is designed
to quickly bring large amounts of liquid to
a boil. It has a special Power Boil
™
setting
designed to be used with cookware
10 inches or larger in diameter.
The center oval burner (on some models) is
for large pots/pans or for use with the griddle.

Use a flat-bottomed wok.
Top-of-Range Cookware
Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is
recommended because it heats quickly
and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in an
aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with tight-
fitting lids when cooking with minimum
amounts of water.
Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets
will give satisfactory results.
Enamelware: Under some conditions,
the enamel of some cookware may melt.
Follow cookware manufacturer’s
recommendations for cooking methods.
Glass: There are two types of glass
cookware—those for oven use only and those
for top-of-range cooking (saucepans, coffee
and teapots). Glass conducts heat very
slowly.
Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for
either surface or oven cooking. It conducts
heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check
cookware manufacturer’s directions to be
sure it can be used on gas ranges.
Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor
heating properties and is usually combined
with copper, aluminum or other metals for
improved heat distribution. Combination
metal skillets usually work satisfactorily if
they are used with medium heat as the
manufacturer recommends.
Stove Top Grills (on models with sealed burners)
Do not use stove top grills on your sealed gas
burners. If you use the stove top grill on the
sealed gas burner, it will cause incomplete
combustion and can result in exposure to
carbon monoxide levels above allowable
current standards.
This can be hazardous to your health.
Wok This Way (on models with sealed burners)
We recommend that you use a 14" or smaller
flat-bottomed wok. Make sure the wok bottom
sits flat on the grate. They are available at
your local retail store.
Only a flat-bottomed wok should be used.
Do not use a flat-bottomed wok on a support
ring. Placing the ring over the burner or grate
may cause the burner to work improperly,
resulting in carbon monoxide levels above
allowable standards. This could be dangerous
to your health.
In Case of Power Failure
In case of a power failure, you can light the
gas surface burners on your range with a
match. Hold a lit match to the burner, then
push in and turn the control knob to the Lite
position. Use extreme caution when lighting
burners this way.
Surface burners in use when an electrical
power failure occurs will continue to operate
normally.

To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
Oven Vent
Your oven is vented through ducts at the rear
of the range. Do not block these ducts when
cooking in the oven—it is important that the
flow of hot air from the oven and fresh air
to the oven burner be uninterrupted. Avoid
touching the vent openings or nearby
surfaces during oven or broiler operation—
they may become hot.
■ Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop
may become hot if left too close to the vent.
■ Do not leave plastic or flammable items on
the cooktop—they may melt or ignite if left
too close to the vent.
■ Do not leave closed containers on the
cooktop. The pressure in closed containers
may increase, which may cause them to
burst.
■ Metal items will become very hot if they are
left on the cooktop, and could cause burns.
Plastic items on the cooktop may melt
if left too close to the vent.
Vent appearance and location vary.
Using the oven.
Before you begin…
The racks have stop-locks, so that when
placed correctly on the rack supports
(A through E), they will stop before coming
completely out, and will not tilt.
When placing and removing cookware,
pull the rack out to the bump on the rack
support.
To remove a rack, pull it toward you, tilt the
front end up and pull it out.
To replace, place the end of the rack (stop-
locks) on the support, tilt up the front and
push the rack in.
NOTE: The rack is not designed to slide out at
the special low rack (R) position.
The oven has 5 rack positions.
It also has a special low rack position (R)
for extra large items, such as a large
turkey.
Power Outage
CAUTION: Do not make any
attempt to operate the electric ignition oven
during an electrical power failure.
The oven or broiler cannot be lit during a
power failure. Gas will not flow unless the
glow bar is hot.
If the oven is in use when a power failure
occurs, the oven burner shuts off and cannot
be re-lit until power is restored. This is
because the flow of gas is automatically
stopped and will not resume when power
is restored until the glow bar has reached
operating temperature.
Oven Light
Touch the Oven Light pad on the upper
control panel to turn the light on or off.
15
If your model has a door latch, do not lock the oven door with the latch during baking or roasting. The latch is used
for self-cleaning only.
Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct
temperature. Preheating is necessary for
good results when baking cakes, cookies,
pastry and breads.
For ovens without a preheat indicator light or
tone, preheat 10 minutes.
Baking results will be better if baking pans are
centered in the oven as much as possible.
Pans should not touch each other or the walls
of the oven. If you need to use two racks,
stagger the pans so one is not directly above
the other, and leave approximately 1
1
⁄2"
between pans, from the front, back and sides
of the wall.

How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting
Your oven is not designed for open-door
cooking.
Touch the Bake pad.
Touch the + or – pads until the desired
temperature is displayed.
Touch the Start/On pad.
The oven will start automatically. The display
will show PRE while preheating. When the
oven reaches the selected temperature, the
oven control will beep several times and the
display will show the oven temperature.
To change the oven temperature during Bake
cycle, touch the Bake pad and then the + or –
pads to get the new temperature.
Check food for doneness at minimum
time on recipe. Cook longer if necessary.
Touch the Clear/Off pad when baking is
finished and then remove the food from
the oven.
Type of Food Rack Position
Frozen pies (on cookie sheet) B or C
Angel food cake, B
bundt or pound cakes
Biscuits, muffins, brownies, C
cookies, cupcakes, layer
cakes, pies
Casseroles B or C
Roasting R or A
Aluminum Foil
Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of
the oven.
Never entirely cover a rack with aluminum
foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and
result in poor baking.
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a
spillover by placing it on a lower rack several
inches below the food.
Oven Moisture
As your oven heats up, the temperature
change of the air in the oven may cause
water droplets to form on the door glass.
These droplets are harmless and will
evaporate as the oven continues to heat up.
The oven has a special low rack (R)
position just above the oven bottom.
Use it when extra cooking space
is needed, for example, when cooking
a large turkey. The rack is not designed
to slide out at this position.

How to Set the Oven for Broiling
NOTE: On models with an Oven Temp knob, turn it
to Broil.
Place the meat or fish on a broiler grid in
a broiler pan.
Follow suggested rack positions in the
Broiling Guide.
The oven door must be closed during

Use Lo Broil to cook foods such as poultry
or thick cuts of meat thoroughly without
over-browning them.
The size, weight, thickness,
starting temperature and your
preference of doneness will affect
broiling times. This guide is based
on meats at refrigerator
temperature.

Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you
decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher fat product.
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low fat spreads. The lower the fat
content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low fat spreads, on the
other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor of
baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least
70% vegetable oil.
The type of margarine will affect baking performance!

For the first self-clean cycle, we recommend
venting your kitchen with an open window or
using a ventilation fan or hood.
Remove the racks, any broiler pan, broiler
grid, all cookware and any aluminum foil
from the oven.
The oven racks can be self-cleaned, but they
will darken, lose their luster and become hard
to slide.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven
protectors in or near the self-cleaning oven. A
combination of any of these products plus
the high clean cycle temperatures may
damage the porcelain finish of the oven.
Soil on the front frame of the range and
outside the gasket on the door will need to be
cleaned by hand. Clean these areas with hot
water, soap-filled scouring pads or cleansers
such as Soft Scrub
®
. Rinse well with clean
water and dry.
Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass
material of the oven door gasket cannot
withstand abrasion. It is essential for the
gasket to remain intact. If you notice it
becoming worn or frayed, replace it.
Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the oven
bottom.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place
and the oven light is off.
CAUTION: The grates and drip
pans (if so equipped) should never be
cleaned in the self-cleaning oven.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners or

Burner Caps and Heads
Before removing the burner caps and heads,
remember their size and location. Replace them in
the same location after cleaning.
NOTE: Do not use steel wool or scouring powders
to clean the burner parts.
Burner caps

food particles.
Burner Heads and Oval (Center) Burner
Head/Cap Assembly
(on some models)
The burner heads and the oval burner head/cap
assembly are removable. Simply lift them off the
range for cleaning.
For proper ignition, make sure the small hole
in the section that fits over the electrode is kept
open. A sewing needle or wire twist-tie works
well to unclog it.
The slits in the burner heads must be kept clean at
all times for an even, unhampered flame.
Clogged or dirty burner ports or electrodes will not
allow the burner to operate properly.
Any spill on or around an electrode must be
carefully cleaned. Take care to not hit an electrode
with anything hard or it could be damaged.
Clean the burner heads routinely, especially after
bad spillovers, which could clog the openings. Lift
off when cool.
To remove burned-on food, soak the burner heads
in a solution of mild liquid detergent and hot water
for 20–30 minutes. For more stubborn stains, use a
toothbrush.
After cleaning
Before putting the burner caps, heads (on some
models) and oval head/cap assembly back, shake
out excess water and then dry them thoroughly
by setting in a warm oven for 30 minutes.

Burner Grates
Your range has three professional-style
double grates. These grates are position-
specific. For maximum stability, these grates
should only be used in their proper position;
they cannot be interchanged left to right or
front to back. For convenience, the
undersides of the left and right grates are
marked “LEFT FRONT” and “RIGHT FRONT.”
Make sure the front portion of both grates is
in front. The middle grate has a bow in front.
Make sure the bowed portion is toward the
front of the range.
NOTE: Some models only have side grates.
Cleaning
Lift out when cool. Grates should be washed
regularly and, of course, after spillovers.
Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse
with clean water. When replacing the grates,
be sure they are positioned securely over
the burners. Replace the grates so that
continuous arcs are formed with the center
ribs of all three grates.
NOTE: Some models only have side grates.
Do not operate a burner for an extended
period of time without cookware on the grate.
The finish on the grate may chip without
cookware to absorb the heat.
To get rid of burned-on food, place the grates
in a covered container. Add 1/4 cup ammonia
and let them soak several hours or overnight.
Wash, rinse well and dry.
Although they are durable, the grates will
gradually lose their shine, regardless of
the best care you can give them. This is
due to their continual exposure to high
temperatures. You will notice this sooner
with lighter color grates.
NOTE: Do not clean the grates in a self-
cleaning oven.
The grates may be cleaned in a
dishwasher.
Appearance may vary.

Cooktop Surface
To avoid damaging the porcelain enamel
surface of the cooktop and to prevent it
from becoming dull, clean up spills right
away. Foods with a lot of acid (tomatoes,
sauerkraut, fruit juices, etc.) or foods with
high sugar content could cause a dull spot
if allowed to set.
When the surface has cooled, wash and
rinse. For other spills such as fat spatterings,
etc., wash with soap and water once the
surface has cooled. Then rinse and polish
with a dry cloth.
NOTE: Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the
cooktop can lead to damage and improper
operation of the range.
NOTE: Do not store flammable materials
in an oven, drawer or near the cooktop. Do
not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.

Care and cleaning of the range.
Lift-Off Oven Door
The oven door is removable, but it is heavy.
You may need help removing and replacing
the door.
To remove the door, open it a few inches to
the special stop position that will hold the
door open. Grasp firmly on each side and lift
the door straight up and off the hinges.
NOTE: Be careful not to place hands between
the hinge and the oven door frame as the
hinge could snap back and pinch fingers.
To replace the door, make sure the hinges
are in the special stop position. Position the
slots in the bottom of the door squarely over
the hinges. Then lower the door slowly and
evenly over both hinges at the same time. If
the hinges snap back against the oven frame,
pull them back out.
To clean the inside of the door:
■ Do not allow excess water to run into any
holes or slots in the door .
■ Because the area inside the gasket is
cleaned during the self clean cycle, you do
not need to clean this by hand. Any soap
left on the liner causes additional stains
when the oven is heated.
■ The area outside the gasket can be
cleaned with a soap-filled scouring pad.
To clean the outside of the door:
■ Use soap and water to thoroughly clean
the top, sides and front of the oven door.
Rinse well. You may also use a glass
cleaner to clean the glass on the outside
of the door.
■ Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato
sauces and basting materials containing
acids may cause discoloration and should
be wiped up immediately. When the
surface is cool, clean and rinse.
■ Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing
powders or harsh abrasives on the
outside of the door.
Oven Bottom
The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel
finish. To make cleaning easier, protect the
oven bottom from excessive spillovers by
placing a cookie sheet on the rack below the
rack you are cooking on. This is particularly
important when baking a fruit pie or other
foods with a high acid content. Hot fruit
fillings or other foods that are highly acidic
(such as tomatoes, sauerkraut, and sauces
with vinegar or lemon juice) may cause
pitting and damage to the porcelain enamel
surface and should be wiped up immediately.
We don’t recommend using aluminum foil on
the oven bottom. It can affect air flow if the
holes are blocked and it can concentrate heat
at the bottom of the oven, resulting in poor
baking performance.
To clean up spillovers, use soap and water,
an abrasive cleaner or soap-filled scouring
pad. Rinse well to remove any soap before
self-cleaning.
Lift the door straight up and off
the hinges.
The gasket is designed with a gap
at the bottom to allow for proper
air circulation.
Do not rub or clean the door gasket—
it has an extremely low resistance
to abrasion.
If you notice the gasket becoming worn,
frayed or damaged in any way or if it has
become displaced on the door, you
should have it replaced.

The storage drawer may be removed for
cleaning under the range. Clean the storage
drawer with a damp cloth or sponge. Never
use harsh abrasives or scouring pads.
To remove storage drawer:
Pull drawer straight out until it stops.
Tilt the front of the drawer up and free
of the range.
To replace storage drawer:
Set the stops on the back of the drawer
over the stops in the range.
Slide drawer evenly and straight back,
so that the rails in the range are
engaged.
The storage drawer may be removed
for cleaning under the range.

Care and cleaning of the range.
Oven Air Vents
Never block the vents (air openings) of the
range. They provide the air inlet and outlet
that are necessary for the range to operate
properly with correct combustion.
Air openings are located at the rear of
the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the
oven door and at the bottom of the range,
under the storage drawer or kick panel
(depending on the model).
Lower Control Panel (Front Manifold Panel) and Knobs
It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after
each use of the oven. Use a damp cloth to
clean or rinse. For cleaning, use mild soap
and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and
water. For rinsing, use clean water. Polish dry
with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid
cleaners, plastic scouring pads or oven
cleaners on the control panel—they will
damage the finish.
Do not bend knobs by pulling them up or
down or by hanging a towel or other such
loads. This can damage the gas valve shaft.
The control knobs may be removed for easier
cleaning.
Make sure the knobs are in the Off positions
and pull them straight off the stems for
cleaning.
The knobs can be cleaned in a dishwasher
or they may also be washed with soap and
water. Make sure the insides of the knobs are
dry before replacing.
Replace the knobs in the Off position to
ensure proper placement.
Metal parts can be cleaned with soap and
water. Do not use steel wool, abrasives,
ammonia, acids or commercial oven
cleaners. Dry with a soft cloth.
Vent appearance and location vary.
Pull the knob straight off the stem.

LOCATION
Do not locate the range where it may be subject to
strong drafts. Any openings in the floor or wall behind
the range should be sealed. Make sure the openings
around the base of the range that supply fresh air for
combustion and ventilation are not obstructed by
carpeting or woodwork.
Your range, like many other household items, is heavy and
can settle into soft floor coverings such as cushioned vinyl
or carpeting. Use care when moving the range on this type
of flooring. It is recommended that the following simple and
inexpensive instructions be followed to protect your floor.
The range should be installed on a sheet of plywood (or
similar material). When the floor covering ends at the front
of the range, the area that the range will rest on should be
built up with plywood to the same level or higher than the
floor covering.
This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning or
servicing. Also, make sure your floor covering will withstand
180°F. (See the Installation Safety Instructions section.)
Make sure the wall coverings around your range can
withstand the heat generated (up to 200°F) by the range.
(See the Installation Safety Instructions section.)
IMPORTANT!
Remove all tape and packaging. Make sure the burners
are properly seated and level.
Take the accessory pack out of the oven and/or drawer.
Check to be sure that no range parts have come loose
during shipping.
WARNING!
ANTI-TIP DEVICE
To reduce the risk of tipping the range, the range
must be secured by a properly installed anti-tip
bracket. See installation instructions shipped
with the bracket for complete details before
attempting to install.
To check if the bracket is installed and engaged
properly, carefully tip the range forward. The
bracket should stop the range within 4 inches.
If it does not, the bracket must be reinstalled.
If the range is pulled from the wall for any reason,
always repeat this procedure to verify the range
is properly secured by the anti-tip bracket.
For free-standing or slide-in ranges, never
completely remove the leveling legs or the range
will not be secured to the anti-tip device properly.
If you did not receive an anti-tip bracket with your
purchase, call 1.800.626.8774 to receive
one at no cost (in Canada, call 1.800.561.3344).
For installation instructions of the bracket,
visit GEAppliances.com (in Canada,
GEAppliances.ca).

Installation Instructions
PROVIDE ADEQUATE
GAS SUPPLY
Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of 4" of
water column on natural gas or, if designed for LP gas
(propane or butane), 10" of water column.
Make sure you are supplying your range with the type of
gas for which it is designed.
This range is convertible for use on natural or propane gas.
If you decide to use this range on LP gas, conversion must
be made by a qualified LP installer before attempting to
operate the range on that gas.
For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas supplied
to the regulator must be between 4" and 13" of water
column.
For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be between 10" and
13" of water column.
When checking for proper operation of the regulator, the
inlet pressure must be at least 1" greater than the operating
(manifold) pressure as given above.
The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the range
manifold must remain in the supply line regardless of
whether natural or LP gas is being used.
A flexible metal appliance connector used to connect the
range to the gas supply line should have an I.D. of 1/2" and
be 5 feet in length for ease of installation. In Canada, flexible
connectors must be single wall metal connectors no longer
than 6 feet in length.
1
CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS
Shut off the main gas supply valve before disconnecting
the old range and leave it off until the new hookup has
been completed. Don’t forget to relight the pilot on other
gas appliances when you turn the gas back on.
Because hard piping restricts movement of the range, the
use of a CSA International-certified flexible metal appliance
connector is recommended unless local codes require a
hard-piped connection.
Never use an old connector when installing a new range.
If the hard piping method is used, you must carefully align
the pipe; the range cannot be moved after the connection
is made.
To prevent gas leaks, put pipe joint compound on, or wrap
pipe thread tape with Teflon* around, all male (external)
pipe threads.
A. Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the gas line in
an easily accessed location outside of the range. Make
sure everyone operating the range knows where and
how to shut off the gas supply to the range.
B. Install male 1/2" flare union adapter to the 1/2" NPT
internal thread at inlet of regulator. Use a backup wrench
on the regulator fitting to avoid damage.
B. When installing the range from the front, remove the 90°
elbow for easier installation.
C. Install male 1/2" or 3/4" flare union adapter to the NPT
internal thread of the manual shut-off valve, taking care
to back-up the shut-off valve to keep it from turning.
D. Connect flexible metal appliance connector to the
adapter on the range. Position range to permit
connection at the shut-off valve.
E. When all connections have been made, make sure
all range controls are in the off position and turn on the
main gas supply valve. Use a liquid leak detector at all
joints and connections to check for leaks in the system.
When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig to
pressure test the gas supply system of the residence,
disconnect the range and individual shut-off valve from
the gas supply piping. When using test pressures of 1/2
psig or less to test the gas supply system, simply isolate
the range from the gas supply system by closing the
individual shut-off valve.

conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an
extension cord. However, if you still elect to use an extension
cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed, 3-wire
grounding-type appliance extension cord and that the
current carrying rating of the cord in amperes be equivalent
to, or greater than, the circuit rating.
Grounding
IMPORTANT—(Please read carefully)
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
PROPERLY GROUNDED.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong
(grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong
grounding wall receptacle to minimize the possibility of
electric shock hazard from this appliance.
The customer should have the wall receptacle and circuit
checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the
receptacle is properly grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it
is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer
to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall
receptacle.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR REMOVE
THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD.
A word about GFCI’s—GFCI’s are not required or
recommended for gas range receptacles.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI’s) are devices that
sense leakage of current in a circuit and automatically
switch off power when a threshold leakage level is detected.
These devices must be manually reset by the consumer.
The National Electrical Code requires the use of GFCI’s in
kitchen receptacles installed to serve countertop surfaces.
Performance of the range will not be affected if operated on
a GFCI-protected circuit but occasional nuisance tripping of
the GFCI breaker is possible.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (CONT.)
A. Usage Situations where Appliance Power Cord will be
Disconnected Infrequently.
An adapter may be used only on a 15-amp circuit. Do not
use an adapter on a 20-amp circuit. Where local codes
permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to a
properly grounded two-prong wall receptacle by the use of
a UL-listed adapter, available at most hardware stores. The
larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger
slot in the wall receptacle to provide proper polarity in the
connection of the power cord.
When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter,
always hold the adapter with one hand. If this is not done,
the adapter ground terminal is very likely to break with
repeated use. Should this happen, DO NOT USE the
appliance until a proper ground has again been established.
3
Preferred Method
Ensure proper ground
exists before use
Temporary Method
(Adapter plugs not permitted in Canada)
Ensure proper ground
and firm connection
before use
Align large prongs/slots
CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground
terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not
ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal,
and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded
through the house wiring. The customer should have
the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make
sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
ASSEMBLE SURFACE BURNERS (CONT.)
There is one oval (center) head and cap assembly
(on some models) and four side heads and caps.
On models so equipped:
On models so equipped:
Make sure that the heads and caps are replaced
in the correct locations.
Grates
Place the left, right and center grates on the cooktop.
These grates are position specific. The undersides of
the left and right grates are marked “LEFT FRONT” and
“RIGHT FRONT.” Place the middle grate with its bowed
front toward the front of the range.
NOTE: Some models only have side grates.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (CONT.)

B. Usage Situations where Appliance Power Cord will
be Disconnected Frequently.
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations because
disconnecting of the power cord places undue strain on
the adapter and leads to eventual failure of the adapter
ground terminal. The customer should have the two-
prong wall receptacle replaced with a three-prong
(grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician before
using the appliance.
The installation of appliances designed for mobile home
installation must conform with the Manufactured Home
Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part
3280 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home
Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD, Part 280) or,
when such standard is not applicable, the Standard
for Manufactured Home Installations, latest edition
(Manufactured Home Sites, Communities and Set-Ups),
ANSI A225.1, latest edition, or with local codes. In
Canada, mobile home installation must be in
accordance with the current CAN/CSA Z240/MH
Mobile Home Installation Code.
Electric Disconnect
■ Locate disconnect plug on the range back.
■ Pinch sides of connector and pull out of range back.

CHECK IGNITION OF SURFACE
BURNERS
6
Operation of all cooktop and oven burners should be
checked after the range and gas supply lines have been
carefully checked for leaks.
Electric Ignition Models
Select a top burner knob and simultaneously push in
and turn to Lite position. You will hear a clicking sound
indicating proper operation of the spark module. Once
the air has been purged from the supply lines, burners
should light within 4 seconds. After burner lights, rotate
knob out of the Lite position. Try each burner in
succession until all burners have been checked.
Quality of Flames
The combustion quality of burner flames needs to be
determined visually.
If burner flames look like (A), call for service. Normal
burner flames should look like (B) or (C), depending on
the type of gas you use.
With LP gas, some yellow tipping on outer cones
is normal.
(C) Soft blue

The oven is designed to operate quietly and automatically.
To operate the oven, press the Bake pad and then press the
number pads until 350° appears in the display. Touch the Start
pad. After 30–90 seconds, the oven burner will ignite and burn
until the set temperature is reached. The oven burner will
continue to cycle on and off as necessary to maintain the
oven at the temperature indicated by the display.
To check ignition of the broil burner, touch the Broil Hi/Lo pad
and then the Start pad. After 30–90 seconds, the broil burner
will ignite.
Electric ignition models require electrical power to operate.
In case of a power outage, the oven burners on these models
cannot be lit manually with a match. Gas will not flow unless
the glow bar is hot.
If the oven is in use when a power outage occurs, the burner
will shut off and cannot be re-lit until power is restored.
Installation Instructions
To remove the oven bottom:
A. Remove the screws holding down rear of the oven
bottom.
B. Grasp the oven bottom at finger slots on each side.
C. Lift the rear of the oven bottom enough to clear the lip
of the range frame, push it back, and then pull it up
and out.
Installation Instructions
ADJUST BROIL AND OVEN BURNER
AIR ADJUSTMENT SHUTTERS IF
NECESSARY
8
Air adjustment shutters for the top and bottom
burners regulate the flow of air to the flames.
The air adjustment shutter for the top (broil) burner is in
the center of the rear wall of the oven.
The shutter for the bottom (oven) burner is near the back
wall behind the warming drawer. Remove the drawer.
See the Care and cleaning of the range section.
To adjust the flow of air to either burner, loosen the
Phillips head screw and rotate the shutter toward
open or closed position as needed.
The flames for the top (broil) burner should be steady
with approximately 1" blue cones and should not extend
out over the edges of the burner baffle.
To determine if the bottom burner flames are burning
properly, remove the oven bottom. Flames should have
approximately 1" blue cones and, if range is supplied
with natural gas, should burn with no yellow tipping.
(With most LP gas, small yellow tips at the end of outer
cones are normal.) Flames should not lift off burner
ports. If lifting is observed, gradually reduce air shutter
opening until flames are stabilized.
